I agree w/KYOSHO being way over priced for their stuff...just look at their new buggy, almost $900-...ouch...I could by almost 2 others.
1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S
i think this new truck is at a good price... and even at nitro will be a competitor to revo and others... the chassis look´s very much like losi lst but in small version and the arm´s look´s like maxx with pbs system...
is a light and good looking truck ... let´s see how will with handle on the track´s...
Kyosho is just using and abusing of there name to sell there stuff, Look at the 1/8 world, kyosho is clearly behind. AE, Losi, HB and Xray rule the place.
People are not blind. why buy a 900 $ buggy when you can get pretty much the same stuff for 400 $ ?
The argument of made in Japan is irrevelant, Xray is made in european country (slovakia) and isn't that much overprice compared to the quality.
Btw does Losi 8 is built in USA or is it made in china ?

It's a shame that Kyosho are so expensive. I wouldn't mind a MP9 but couldn't be bothered spending that much. Some people that are sponsered by Kyosho keep telling me that it is fully hopped up, no special parts required, can't help to laugh at them
Hot bodies D8 win the world,
And it's cheapest competition buggy available ! I guess they will now sell like hot cake

JR SX3
Neu 1512 2D/S

Plastic shock tower is not necessarly a bad thing, almost all 1/10 use plastic (fiber loaded) or graphite shock tower. I prefer good plastic than cheap aluminium.
Check price off a shock tower in 1/8, price goes from 30 $ to 70 $ ... A RC10 T4 shock tower i sold around 10 $
Funny I have just seen a hyper 8 under 300 $...
